I saw my Doc today and told him about my reaction to the prednisone to which he stated none of them could of been caused by the prednisone. He didn't suggest what may of caused them other than to allude to some viral infection. Don't really know what to think of this other than I can't afford a second opinion and I am reluctant to take a higher dose. Fortunately I won't be working on another set until Feb. so maybe by then my tendonitis will subside.View Thread




It will be interesting to see what if any effect it has on me as i have always had a high tolerance for such things. When i was diagnosed Labor Day of last year i was in the ICU for five days as the result of a tick infections. It was only after they began giving me steroids that things got under control. My averge BP is 54 over 100 which is pretty good after forty years of smoking (Quit after getting diagnosed) so it would seem it takes a bit to get me fired up. This darn tendonitis makes it painful to grip anything and since i work with my hands building and painting stuff in theatre, other exercise hasn't been realistic. I do need to get back on the stationary bike though once i start feeling better or work slows down. in the meanwhile thanks again.View Thread



I usually test three times a day since starting on glipizide, but I test more often when I am not feeling well. My primary wants me to keep track so as to adjust the dosage. Things have been a little out of kilter since a fall from a ladder at work a while ago.Anyway, my bg was 86 when I retired and 191 when i got up which is much higher than its been since i started the glipizide a month ago.I have read all the reasons for this but little of solutions to high morning numbers. That is to say any that have worked on me thus far. thanks for your responce.View Thread
